Ripping Yarns DVD set. The complete series on 2 dvd's. DELIVERED FREE IN THE UK.

After the phenomenal success of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Michael Palin and Terry Jones created this fantastic, BAFTA-winning series of comic plays for the BBC. Ripping Yarns sees Palin taking the protagonist's role in nine rip-roaring stories from tales of sporting enterprise, gallant exploration and wartime heroism to skulduggery, supernatural mystery and murder... and, of course, the scandalous exploits of Eric Olthwaite - Yorkshire's most interesting outlaw. A great cast includes John Le Mesurier, Denholm Elliott, Iain Cuthbertson, , Joan Sanderson and Don Henderson, with Terry Jones starring in one episode and fellow former Python John Cleese also making a cameo appearance. Both series, first aired between 1976 and 1979, are released in this special-edition set, with special features including deleted scenes, a 1983 documentary, Comic Roots, in which Palin returns to his native Sheffield, and Secrets, the only surviving recording of Palin and Jones 1973 screenplay for the BBC
